Podcast: Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal

I had a terrific conversation yesterday with Fr. McTeigue, S.J. about the difficulties in dealing with our political arena when there is a widespread desire to improve society without reference to morality or its source, Christ. We dove into some topics that are not being talked about at the national level, to the detriment of us all.

President Trump’s recent announcements in favor of IVF and against heartbeat bills (as “too short”) are alienating the people central to his base, and will undermine the goals that he wants to achieve.

Going on a leisurely walk and would prefer a safer, prettier neighborhood? Bigotry. Want to drive surrounded by fields and flowers instead of concrete? Racism. So says your overlords.

The recent arrest of the CEO of Telegram is easy for some to ignore, especially if they don’t use the app, but it’s just one piece of a much larger attempt to control speech and information on the Internet.

In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily struck down the Biden Administration’s attempt to effectively nullify Title IX by redefining sex according to “gender identity”.

Now that the monkeypox hysteria is back, we can expect the news media to avoid the mistakes it made last time, instead trying to mainstream the illness and downplay the stories of gay “parents” infecting the children placed in their care (or purchased through surrogacy).

Do the British understand what kind of culture they had, or what they want? Fighting for a mere absence isn’t enough to sustain for long. Modern Western nation-states are inherently weak to invasion because of their self-loathing posture.

I went on The Catholic Current with Fr. McTeigue, S.J. to discuss nationalism, a two-tiered justice system, and the riots in England. What can Americans learn from both the causes and the effects?

It’s easier to focus on battles afar because they demand less from us, precisely because they don’t affect us in a tangible way. Our communities—where we live—that’s another matter.

The Olympics began this year with the mocking of Christ and quickly moved into watching men punch women in the face. The two are probably related.
